Former champion Amir Khan (26-3, 18KOs) is going to be an interested party in the welterweight collision between IBF champion Devon Alexander (24-1, 13KOs) and mandatory challenger Kell Brook (29-0, 19KOs). As BoxingScene.com first reported on Saturday, a deal was reached for an Alexander-Brook battle for January 19th in the United States. Showtime will televise.

If Brook has a belt though, the split should be 50-50 between him and Khan. Khan still attracts much more interest than Brook regardless of what haters like to think.

But I agree in principle Brook deserves more since he would be a champion in a weight that he's at least been campaigning in unlike Khan. But as we know purse splits are about who generates the most interest.
